Preface 

THIS collection of plates was designed to furnish practical and educational in- 
struction of an interesting character for children. That they have met with 
approval is evidenced by the numerous requests for them by teachers and 
parents. It is this fact that has induced me to make a collection of the plates per- 
taining to cardboard construction, to arrange them in progressive order, and to publish 
them for distribution. 

The classification of the subject mentioned in the collection named "Plate 
System," is derived from the fact that all the necessary information for construction, 
is given on the plate containing the object to be constructed. This plan is most con- 
venient as well as being the correct shop practice. 

J. L. NOLL, Altoona, Pa. 



General Information 

IN taking up this work in the schools, it will not be necessary to invest in expensive equipment, 
as all the tools really needed to do good work are shown on the cover page and are as follows: 
Twelve inch Rule, graduated to sixteenth of an inch; No. H. Drawing Pencil; Compasses and 
a forty five degree Triangle. The latter may be made by the pupil or may be dispensed with, 
and measurements used to find the right-angle. 

The first few plates are composed of principles employed in mechanical drawing; they should 
be drawn on drawing paper carefully arranged and the information nicely printed. A sample 
plate is shown in this collection in the presentation of a six pointed star. These objects should 
be re-drawn on plain cardboard and cut to the line with scissors. 

Printing is given on one of the plates, and it is well to have a lesson frequently. Printing is always 
used in mechanical drawing, and so it should receive enough attention to insure good lettering. 

All plans of the objects shown in this course, where dimensions are given, should be drawn 
on drawing paper and corrected by the teacher, then re-drawn on the construction paper and in- 
spected again before cutting. The perspective drawings are shown to assist in visualizing the 
operations in construction, and to show the finished object, and are not intended for drawing lessons. 

The material used in this course is Herculean paper. It is a good grade, and very suitable for 
cardboard construction. It is made in many colors, and several weights, and is the material used for 
the cover of this book. Plate No. 4028 in this collection gives more detail about Herculean paper. 

Good glue should be used in constructing these objects, and may be obtained in convenient 
tubes at any stationary or drug store. In using glue however, it should be spread evenly with a 
stick and not much used. Ordinary paste will not give good results. 

Decorations may be used if desired, and may be done in water color or crayola; but many of 
of the objects will look better if they are not decorated. The teacher should use some judgment 
about this. 

In presenting this work to the pupils the teacher should explain all the tools and materials, 
how to use them, also neatness, accuracy and economy. 

The best way to direct the work is from the board working right with the pupils, and the 
teacher should make all the drawings properly proportioned, so asnot to misguide the young mind. 

All the information for construction, description and material will be found on each plate, 
and if it is carefully followed success will surely result.
